Riding a Rainbow

Red sunrise
Climbing up the darkness,
Kissing the stars.

Orange lilies
Swaying on the stalk,
Playing with the wind.

Yellow butterfly
Standing on a petal,
Sipping daisy nectar.

Green ivy
Creeping up the brick wall,
Looking for adventure.

Blue waves
Rolling toward the beach,
Bringing a mermaid.

Indigo parrot
Perching on a leafy branch,
Scolding everyone who passes.

Violet petunias
Blooming in a window box,
Perfuming the siesta hour.
